The calm, gray tones of this dining room feel luxurious when combined with a dramatic drop pendant lamp and contemporary animal print upholstered dining chairs. A vibrant yellow urn adds color and spice to the space while a contemporary gray and yellow area rug anchors the dining area.

This transitional kitchen has a tile backsplash, black countertops, built-in white cabinets, and a black-and-white kitchen island that doubles as table. Three metal chairs are positioned on one side of the built-in island and compliment the industrial-style pendant lamps overhead.

Light blue walls in this transitional kitchen nook feel fresh while the gray pendant and seating add a midcentury touch to this inviting space. Brightly colored artwork adds a pop of color and keeps the space feeling young and alive.

The owners bring this kitchen into the 21st century by simply painting the cabinets, replacing the track lighting with a pretty pendant lamp, replacing the hardware and bringing in stainless steel appliances (bought off Craigslist).

A vertical hanging pocket garden surrounds a pergola-shaded outdoor dining area in this backyard. A variety of hanging glass pendant lamps are sophisticated additions to the rustic, weathered-wood terrace.
